Frequently asked questions
Who has the largest two-wheeler market share in India in 2026?
Hero MotoCorp leads the two-wheeler segment with 25.93% of registrations over Jan–Sep 2026, down 2.25pp versus the same months of 2025.
Which car maker gained the most market share in 2026?
Tata Motors (EV) gained the most share among car makers, ▲ 1.04pp to 2.72%.
Why does market share matter more than sales growth?
Because every manufacturer rises and falls with the market. In a year when total registrations grow strongly, a maker growing more slowly than the market is losing ground even though its own volumes went up. Share change in percentage points strips the market move out and shows who actually won customers.
How are the segments defined?
From Vahan vehicle classes, not vehicle categories. Vahan category codes conflate products that are not comparable — tractor makers file under LMV, the same code as passenger cars — so a category-based car share would include several lakh tractors. Each table lists the exact classes it covers.
Is this retail or wholesale data?
Retail. These are vehicles actually registered at RTOs, which is why the figures differ from the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month.
More Vahan insights

Methodology & source. All figures are vehicle registrations scraped daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source used by FADA and industry trackers. Registrations differ from the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce. Telangana and Lakshadweep are not on Vahan 4 and are excluded. The current month is partial until a few days after month-end. "EV" means battery EVs (Vahan fuels PURE EV + ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately. Figures may be revised by RTOs.
